Ortiz was rested for the final day of an 11-game road trip that saw Boston go 7-4.

I throw a cutter and he takes it.Mikie Mahtook ended a stretch of 34 hitless at-bats with a go-ahead double in the seventh off Drew Pomeranz (10-10), who is 2/3 since being traded from San Diego to Boston.It was a relief, Mahtook said.Odorizzi (9-5) improved to 6-0 in eight starts since the All-Star break. He gave up one run and five hits in seven innings.Betts was thrown out by Mahtook from left field trying to stretch a single into a double in the eighth.Pomeranz struck out a career-high 11 in six-plus innings.Our starting rotation has done a great job, Pomeranz said. Little things here and there, a little bad luck sometimes has made the difference in games. But were playing well, weve had a good road trip and now were going home.Tampa Bay tied it at 1 in the bottom of the sixth when Evan Longoria doubled and scored on Brad Millers single. Miller had 31 RBI since the All-Star break.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: LF Andrew Benintendi (left knee sprain) was put on the 15-day disabled list.
